NafisaJust six months after his £10 million move from Celtic to Rennes, Kyogo Furuhashi may be poised for yet another shift in surroundings.
Reports from France indicate Rennes have engaged in “positive” talks with Premier League club Brentford regarding a possible summer move for the Japanese forward. As reported by La Parisien, the Ligue 1 club are now willing to part ways with Kyogo, following his drop in standing under manager Habib Beye.
Kyogo, who was a pivotal figure at Celtic Park, has faced a challenging period in France, finding it difficult to secure regular playing time and make a significant impact.
Despite arriving with lofty expectations after a goal-filled stint in Glasgow, he’s now being associated with a return to the UK, with a Premier League switch looking probable.
Kyogo’s intelligent movement, clinical finishing, and relentless energy made him a standout performer in the Scottish Premiership, and it seems those attributes have attracted attention in England.
While at Celtic, Kyogo amassed a remarkable number of goals, becoming an integral part of both Ange Postecoglou’s and Brendan Rodgers’ attacking plans.
His exit in January came as a shock to many supporters, but the Hoops have adapted, with players like Adam Idah and Daizen Maeda stepping up in the striker role during his absence.
Whether or not a transfer materialises remains uncertain, but if Kyogo does complete a move to Brentford, it would signal the beginning of another chapter in what has been a fast-paced and unpredictable professional journey since his departure from the Hoops.
